Arrival of the NZ120 Ba

Today saw the Ba arrive, after a coat of plastic primer she's looking the part, some surfaces need some minor sanding. The chassis is a cheap n scale 2-8-0 bachman. The chassis is now facing backward & needs a round motor to be installed & she should run well.

Showing ever increasing variety in the NZ120 Steam Range.

The very nice scratch built P kindly gave its life so the Ba could use it's chassis, It was not a shell body attached to the main chassis, rather the main parts literally glued to the chassis. It ended up at the creek, but always on display & never forgotten :P. After some weathering & placement of "remaining bits" i'm quite happy with the scene.
